“…Evidence for an involvement of TBA in action control has been corroborated by various studies using different paradigms. In recent years, a number of studies have corroborated a role of TBA activity properties in event-file processing, either by examining TBA directly using time-frequency EEG data 68,69 , or indirectly through EEG responses in the time domain known to depend on TBA [69][70][71][72][73][74][75] . In line with biophysical properties of TBA 59 , and its original conceptualization in TEC 15,43 , event-file dynamics reflect processing in a distributed cortical and subcortical network encompassing inferior and superior parietal areas, supplementary motor areas, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and the hippocampus [69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] .…”

“…Nevertheless, the functional neuroanatomical level is also implied because theta and gamma band activity strongly refer to these activities in specific functional neuroanatomical structures (see section on theta/gamma band activity). Previous studies on event file coding as conceptualized in TEC, have consistently revealed that event-file dynamics reflect processing in a distributed cortical and subcortical network encompassing inferior and superior parietal areas, supplementary motor areas, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and the hippocampus [69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] . For alpha and beta band activity, however, the likely relevant functional neuroanatomical implementation Fig.…”

Towards a systematization of brain oscillatory activity in actions

Information processing in the brain is governed by oscillatory activity. Activity oscillations in specific frequency bands (theta, alpha, beta and gamma) have been associated with various cognitive functions. A drawback of this is that the plethora of findings led to considerable uncertainty as to the functional relevance of activity in different frequency bands and their interrelation. Here, we use a novel cognitive-science theoretical framework to better understand and conceptually harmonize neurophysiological research on human action control. We outline how this validated starting point can systematize and probably reframe the functional relevance of oscillatory activity relevant for action control and beyond.

“…This event file reconfiguration reduces an automated response tendency and thereby increases the likelihood of a successful response inhibition in incongruent Simon Nogo trials. Interestingly, in the last years, several experiments have shown that event files are most likely reflected by C‐cluster activity in the EEG during response selection (Dilcher et al, 2021 ; Opitz et al, 2020 ; Takacs, Mückschel, et al, 2020 ; Takacs, Zink, et al, 2020 ) and response inhibition (Prochnow et al, 2021 ). Using EEG‐source localization, all of these studies have revealed that activity differences in inferior parietal cortices are associated with these modulations.…”

Inhibitory control processes have intensively been studied in cognitive science for the past decades. Even though the neural dynamics underlying these processes are increasingly better understood, a critical open question is how the representational dynamics of the inhibitory control processes are modulated when engaging in response inhibition in a relatively automatic or a controlled mode. Against the background of an overarching theory of perception‐action integration, we combine temporal and spatial EEG signal decomposition methods with multivariate pattern analysis and source localization to obtain fine‐grained insights into the neural dynamics of the representational content of response inhibition. For this purpose, we used a sample of N = 40 healthy adult participants. The behavioural data suggest that response inhibition was better in a more controlled than a more automated response execution mode. Regarding neural dynamics, effects of response inhibition modes relied on a concomitant coding of stimulus‐related information and rules of how stimulus information is related to the appropriate motor programme. Crucially, these fractions of information, which are encoded at the same time in the neurophysiological signal, are based on two independent spatial neurophysiological activity patterns, also showing differences in the temporal stability of the representational content. Source localizations revealed that the precuneus and inferior parietal cortex regions are more relevant than prefrontal areas for the representation of stimulus–response selection codes. We provide a blueprint how a concatenation of EEG signal analysis methods, capturing distinct aspects of neural dynamics, can be connected to cognitive science theory on the importance of representations in action control.

“…According to our expectations, event file binding processes should be reflected by the P3 component. We base this decision on numerous findings by our group and others showing that event file processes consistently affect neurophysiological dynamics in the P3 time window during both, response selection 36,37,53 and response inhibition. 39,54 Of note, P3 modulations were also found in other movement disorders.…”

Perception–Action Integration Is Altered in Functional Movement Disorders

BackgroundAlthough functional neurological movement disorders (FMD) are characterized by motor symptoms, sensory processing has also been shown to be disturbed. However, how the integration of perception and motor processes, essential for the control of goal‐directed behavior, is altered in patients with FMD is less clear. A detailed investigation of these processes is crucial to foster a better understanding of the pathophysiology of FMD and can systematically be achieved in the framework of the theory of event coding (TEC).ObjectiveThe aim was to investigate perception–action integration processes on a behavioral and neurophysiological level in patients with FMD.MethodsA total of 21 patients and 21 controls were investigated with a TEC‐related task, including concomitant electroencephalogram (EEG) recording. We focused on EEG correlates established to reflect perception–action integration processes. Temporal decomposition allowed to distinguish between EEG codes reflecting sensory (S‐cluster), motor (R‐cluster), and integrated sensory–motor processing (C‐cluster). We also applied source localization analyses.ResultsBehaviorally, patients revealed stronger binding between perception and action, as evidenced by difficulties in reconfiguring previously established stimulus–response associations. Such hyperbinding was paralleled by a modulation of neuronal activity clusters, including reduced C‐cluster modulations of the inferior parietal cortex and altered R‐cluster modulations in the inferior frontal gyrus. Correlations of these modulations with symptom severity were also evident.ConclusionsOur study shows that FMD is characterized by altered integration of sensory information with motor processes. Relations between clinical severity and both behavioral performance and neurophysiological abnormalities indicate that perception–action integration processes are central and a promising concept for the understanding of FMD. © 2023 The Authors.
